Seed-based snack maker Seedwise recently expanded its product portfolio with a trio of seed flour cookies with indulgent flavors and free-from formulas. The Birthday Cake, Chocolate Chip and Double Chocolate cookies are soft-baked and grain-free, as well as gluten-free, peanut-free and keto-friendly.
The free-from cookies made from seed flour deliver four grams of protein per serving and they serve as a better-for-you snack for ingredient-conscious consumers of all ages. Because seeds are a rich source of nutrients, easy to digest and full of healthy fats, seed-based snacks are especially popular choices among consumers with dietary restrictions. Additionally, the snack brand reports that "growing seeds requires 20 to 90 times less water than tree nuts," so seed-based snacks are an environmentally friendly option as well.
